Longitudinal trends and factors influencing personnel’s emotional states are explored. Questionnaires from 129 health care personnel recruited from primary care clinics, including those serving evacuees exclusively, revealed significant correlations of self-efficacy and well-being with gender and religiosity, impacting burnout levels. Professional experience and exposure to traumatized evacuees were also linked to well-being. This research addresses a crucial gap in understanding personnel’s emotional resilience and guiding interventions to enhance personnel well-being and improve patient care quality.
